Excellent video. Just what I needed to know. BTW, your song "Hold On" is absolutely awesome. I am new to this, so your channel is a gold mine. Have subscribed.

Hey Pete I was wondering what your thoughts are on this; I have 3 singles from a while ago, but since then I learned to mix a bit better and remastered them and planned to include them with a few new songs on an EP. Do I need to get the numbers off of these songs still for their location or no since their new location would be on this EP? Any help would be appreciated!

Heya Pete. I use Distrokid for my music. I recently chose to pull down "80's Joint" and replaced it with what I feel is a far superior remix (as of this writing the track is still pending)... I didn't think to grab the ISRC or UPC numbers tho... 😣
I hope this doesn't complicate things too much...
***EDIT***
The updated “80’s Joint” is now uploaded and there was no issue re: the ISRC or UPC numbers.

Hi there! Help Iv accidentally uploaded the wrong Music file to distrokid, and came back as error. I had to Abort release. What do I do now 😢

[AshleySienna]

Hi! I have a very pressing question since my release is going live in 2 days. I want to push out my release by 2 weeks, and replace the audio file which is slightly improved, however, I do NOT want to lose all my presaves. Will going through the process of removing & reuploading with the same ISRC remove all my presaves? Or will they remain? Thanks!

Hey, please inform me on how would you go about releasing a deluxe album?

[stoopa]

hello! so i was planning on realeasing a song a while back and I had it all sent out but then I took it down, I've now tried to release to with lyrics on top and my distributor told me that its the same song and to use the same ISRC, will this change the audio or am I good to use the same ISRC (song never actually went live)

[JhayCMusic]

Great video thank you! One quick question I need help please. If I've already uploaded my song to Distrokid and has a release date in a few days time, can I replace that original mix with a new better and updated mix? Is this possible or would I have to delete the original audio and start all over again? Cheers

[nikolaisimonsen]

Hi Pete thanks for the information on distro. I dont know if you have answered this before but i have released a single and released an album with the same single on it. But now there is two of the same song with different stats do you know how i can make the single on the album get the same streams as the single one?

[NightsMusic]

hi pete, how would you go about deleting 1 song from a scheduled project release? need to know as soon as really if possible.
